Cowley Road is one of the cooler parts of Oxford. Come to think of it, I liked it better than most of London too. It has dozens of little restaurants, lots of funky murals, and a very cool looking mosque. Like a lot of neighborhoods where immigrants and students have converged, it has a really good vibe. Halal meat markets and food cooperatives can be found there. As can funky clothing, bicycles, and (of course) an Oxfam shop.
If I ever had to live in Oxford, this is where you'd find me.
